Chapter 1018 Low Temperature Burns

It's definitely still uncomfortable, but it's much better than when the pain first started.

Gu Wanqiu looked at Gong Qing's tired expression. It should be two or three in the morning at this time.

If she cried out in pain again, Gong Qing would find other ways to relieve her pain.

She also knew that if the illness lasted a long time, the pain in her body might accompany her for the rest of her life and would never go away, and there was no way to completely relieve the pain.

She also didn't want to see Gong Qing so tired, working during the day and worrying about her little things late at night.

Gu Wanqiu shook her head with a soft smile on her face: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"real?"

"Well, the pain won't go away once your feet are warm. Go to bed quickly because you have to go to work tomorrow." Gu Wanqiu urged Gong Qing.

Gong Qing was indeed very tired, but he was more worried about Gu Wanqiu's condition. He couldn't sleep well when he thought of Gu Wanqiu.

Gong Qing lay down again, still holding Gu Wanqiu's feet in his arms, "Put your feet in my arms when you sleep, so they will always be warm."

"Can you sleep well like this?"

"Don't worry, I'm a sound sleeper and I can't be woken up."

"Oh well……"

Gu Wanqiu found a comfortable position, stuffed her feet into Gong Qing's arms, and kept them against the hot water bottle.

Gong Qing yawned and fell asleep again.

Gu Wanqiu couldn't sleep, her eyes were open. There was a night light on in the room, with a soft warm yellow light. Gu Wanqiu used the light to look at Gong Qing's angular face, and the mole on his left eye. She carefully reached out her hand and touched it with her fingertips.

Gong Qing in the dream seemed to sense something, frowned, and the corners of his eyes twitched. Gu Wanqiu quickly retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted, fearing that he would wake up.

After watching him quietly for a few minutes and making sure that he was asleep, Gu Wanqiu reached out and touched the mole on Gong Qing's eye.

She had a memory in her mind, a man always appeared. She couldn't see the man's facial features clearly, but she only remembered that the man had a mole here. That man must be Gong Qing, right?

Gu Wanqiu couldn't remember. The more she tried to think about it, the more her head hurt, and her body automatically activated a protective mechanism.

Maybe those memories are bad, so the body rejects them so much.

Gu Wanqiu fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up again, she felt pain in her feet again and she twitched.

Gong Qing woke up again with just a slight movement. He sat up subconsciously and went to find Gu Wanqiu's position without even opening his eyes. After groping around, he found Gu Wanqiu's feet and the hot water bottle in her arms.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm fine." Gu Wanqiu's voice was hoarse.

Gong Qing vaguely felt that something was wrong. He lifted the quilt and turned on the light to see the situation clearly. He saw a crystal clear blister on Gu Wanqiu's ankle caused by the burn.

My brain suddenly woke up: "How did this happen?"

Gu Wanqiu also sat up and stared at her ankle. She didn't understand why a blister appeared out of nowhere.

Gong Qing got up from the bed in a hurry, opened the cabinet and took out the first aid kit. Fortunately, the first aid kit contained all kinds of medicine. After finding the burn medicine, he sat on the edge of the bed, gently holding Gu Wanqiu's ankle with his left hand, holding a cotton swab in his right hand, and carefully dipped it in the ointment to apply it.

Such a large blister, just looking at it hurts. Gong Qing frowned throughout the entire process of applying the medicine: "Don't you feel any pain? You didn't even bother waking me up."

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't feel it..." Gu Wanqiu explained hesitantly. It was obviously she who was hurt, but she was apologizing like a child who had made a mistake.

"No need to apologize. I don't mean to blame you. I just want you to understand that you don't need to endure the pain anymore. If you feel uncomfortable, just say it out. If you don't say it, the wound will become more and more serious." Gong Qing said patiently.

Gu Wanqiu nodded sullenly, and then listened to Gong Qing again.

"It's my fault this time. I slept too soundly, which caused you to suffer low-temperature burns." Gong Qing frowned as he said this.

He was indeed inconsiderate. The hot water bottle may not feel hot to the touch, but once it is kept close to the skin and not released, it can easily cause low-temperature burns. Moreover, this type of burn is not like the stinging pain caused by being poured with boiling water. It is imperceptible and easy for people to ignore it.

"I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all."

Gong Qing sighed secretly. Compared to Gu Wanqiu who only knew how to apologize and always endured and tried to please him, Gong Qing hoped that she could express her true feelings and thoughts.

But Gu Wanqiu has not learned this yet. Gong Qing was about to say something when his forehead was supported between his eyebrows. Gu Wanqiu stretched out his hand and tried to relax his frown.

"Don't frown. If you frown for too long, you'll get wrinkles and look older."

They would change the subject. Gong Qing grabbed her cold hand and asked, "If I get older, will you recognize me?"

Gu Wanqiu nodded: "Yes, just like what you told me before, no matter what you become, I will recognize you, and I like you too."

Gong Qing's heart moved slightly: "Say it again."

Gu Wanqiu didn't understand: "What?"

"Say the last sentence of what you just said to me again." The voice softened, as if coaxing a child.

Gu Wanqiu smiled and said, "No matter what you become, I will always like you. I like you, Gong Qing."

"Can I love you forever?"

"Well, I will love you for the rest of my life, for a very long time, unless you don't want me anymore." Gu Wanqiu said cautiously. She was scared just thinking about the scene where Gong Qing didn't want her.

…

Gu Wanqiu could sense that Gong Qing cared about her, but she was always worried about losing him. She began to talk about her past, asking Gong Qing what she was like before, how she met and fell in love with him and became his fiancée, and whether his parents knew her. Could she accept seeing her like this?

Gong Qing would answer every one of her questions seriously.

"We have known each other since we were young. When you were little, you chased me around and called me brother, wanting to marry me. Later, we separated and I went to Country M. I didn't return until you were eighteen years old." This is the truth.

"So we only got together when I was 18?"

"I guess so."

Sort of? What kind of answer was that? The more Gu Wanqiu asked, the more curious she became, and she began to ask about her family.

"Wanqiu, you have no relatives anymore."

Upon hearing this, the blood drained from Gu Wanqiu's face and it turned pale.

"Gone? How could she be gone…" He asked knowingly. If she really had relatives, where were they when she was injured? Why did she disappear? Why did something happen to her?

Gong Qing quickly said, "It was an accident. It has nothing to do with you. Wanqiu, you just need to know one thing: I will be your family from now on. Don't think too much. I will slowly tell you about your affairs. You are indeed very different from before, but in my eyes, you are still Gu Wanqiu. I like you, I can protect you, and I can do a lot for you. Similarly, will you do something for me?"
